Ludo





I present to you the most lovable beast from the 1986 movie Labyrinth: Ludo.





Ludo is 6" tall and comes with a 3/4" tall base (total on base 6 3/4").




He has been meticulously sculpted over a heavy wire armature in a blend of merino and New Zealand Corriedale wools in nutmeg, brown and grey. Ludo's fur is a layer of New Zealand Corriedale wool with an overlay of hand rooted Tibetan mohair. He can be posed gently.



His horns and fangs are sculpted of paperclay and have been painted in acrylics.



Ludo has expressive orange/amber acrylic eyes. His face was sculpted over many hours to capture his warm features.



His base is wood painted in layers of acrylics and has been distressed. It is backed in felt. His plaque is hand drawn in archival ink, gel pen and coloured in pencil on artist's grade shrink plastic.



Ludo is a show piece intended for a mature collector and is not intended as a child's toy.


Ludo is available for purchase in my Etsy shop.
